Special Thanks to Missoula Voters
Missoula County voters have shown support for our public schools through the passage of local levies for many years. The passage of the operations levies continues that legacy of strong local support.
These levies will help MCPS support additional students as our community grows, they will help us maintain important programs that provide a range of support for students, and they will help pay for utilities, supplies, curriculum and instructional materials.
Thank you, Missoula County voters, for your continued support!

Lead testing results
MCPS lead testing results
In 2020, the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services created a new rule requiring schools to test for lead at least every three years. A full description of the sampling process and requirements for schools can be found on the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) website.
Missoula County Public Schools tested the water stations in our schools in February 2022, and received results in March 2022. Some test results show levels of lead above the federal limit at a few locations. We immediately shut down all water stations found to exceed lead limits of 5 parts per billion (ppb).
The stations with test results above 5 ppb will remain closed until they can be replaced or a filter installed, and then re-tested.
A full list of schools and results can be found at the link below:
